4. Substorm Features in the High-Latitude Ionosphere and Magnetosphere : Multi-Instrument Observations
Abstract : The space around Earth, confined in the terrestrial magnetosphere, is to some extent shielded from the Sun's solar wind plasma and magnetic field. During certain conditions, however, strong interaction can occur between the solar wind and the magnetosphere, resulting in magnetospheric activity of several forms, among which substorms and storms are the most prominent.
